2 Autumns, 3 Winters 3013

The
title of this film in French is 2 automnes 3 hivers.Arman is 33 years old, he knows he needs to start a physical exercise program
and he starts off running in the park.He literally bumps into Amelie on the jogging path.He wants to see her again and he goes to the park every day
for the next couple of weeks but she come back to the park.After he’s decided he will never see her again, he’s out one evening and he hears a woman scream.He decides he will investigate what is going on and he learns two muggers are
holding Amelie.The men have
robbed the man she was walking with and let him go. They have also robbed
her but they have other plans for her.Arman knows he must do
something, one of the men has a knife and Arman receives a stab wound to his
stomach.Amelie visits him in the
hospital and they become a couple.

The
director of this film has separated the story by using 40 vignette-like
segments.Each has a title and
some are only one or two minutes in length.There is also some strangeness with a character with
apparent telepathic abilities that seems like moments of a very bad television
program?This ended as I expected
but it’s so down for the last portion of the movie!!I can’t imagine how it could be much more of a downer except if the ending was different!2 ½* (This movie is so-so)
